What are the symptoms of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms unless it is very very high. This is one of the reasons that it is such a dangerous condition. In days gone by doctors called high blood pressure the "silent killer."
You won't even know if you have high blood pressure unless you have your blood pressure checked.
Of course, some people do develop some symptoms that are due to high blood pressure (or due to high blood pressure treatments ) but the main thing to remember is that most people don't.
You won't know you've got high blood pressure unless you have a regular check.
We should all try to have a blood pressure check every three years or so - and this blood pressure check should be done more often if you are over the age of seventy, have diabetes or have had high blood pressure readings previously.
Blood Pressure Check
Regular blood pressure checks
These blood pressure monitor machines are easy to use and for the most part are accurate and reliable. Recent research has shown they may actually give a better true picture of your blood pressure readings than the one off snapshot reading that your doctor might get.
A whole series of checks in your own home or work environment is likely to give a truer picture of your blood pressure than a once a year check in your doctor's office.
Take a look at these Omrom blood pressure monitors below. Omron are one of the major companies in the blood pressure monitor market.

By the nature of our lives this list can never be comprehensive. If you feel unwell in any way you should see your doctor. A regular check up on your health and your blood pressure is always a good idea.
Remember - the commonest high blood pressure symptom is "no symptom at all" !!
Symptoms of high blood pressure include:
Headache and high blood pressure
If headache is present as a high blood pressure symptom then it is often felt at the front of the head or behind the eyes
Fatigue and high blood pressure
Fatigue is a common and very non specific symptom - it can be a symptom of many other conditions and should not be regarded simply as a high blood pressure symptom
Nose bleeds and high blood pressure
A recurrent pattern of nose bleeding may be a high blood pressure symptom
Red face and high blood pressure
This may be a symptom in some people - more in men than in women (and probably also more in those who drink too much alcohol)
Ringing noise in the ears and high blood pressure
High blood pressure may cause tinnitus (ringing in the ears) or it may create a pumping or blood rushing noise in the ears
Dizzy and High Blood Pressure
Dizziness is a common high blood pressure symptom although it can also have many other causes
No Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
Don't ever forget that the commonest symptom is No Symptom At All - if you have not had a blood pressure check recently then go arrange one now !
